Your pillows are beautiful! Thanks so much for this information! I have always wanted to try iron-on but I don't want it to look like iron on. Thanks for all the tips and tricks you used. I will look for this brand next time I am at Michael's. So excited to give this a try!!

Thank you so much for the wonderful tutorial! I have wanted to try this for a long time but no other tutorial I've read addresses how not to have the glue residue showing. It is such a pet peeve of mine when it shows. :)

hi! nice tutorial! do you know if your method works just as well / the same, for fabrics other than burlap? seems like a silly question, but fabrics are tempermental sometimes! thanx and have a great day!take care!debra

Hi Shellagh!Wondering what type of burlap you are using??? I have heard there is a difference, and that some burlap is washable and some isn't..? Would be so much fun to give this a try!Hope the girls (and you!) had a terrific first day of school.: ) My youngest just started kindergarten, and I started feeling weepy the night before!!Leah: )

Thank you so much Shellagh for this tip!!! I am finally trying to learn how to sew and make my own pillows. I make all sorts of stuff out of old and vintage materials but sewing has never been my thing. I cannot seem to find the pillows that I want to sell at my barn sales and I am tired of people charging me a lot of money to make them for me soooo....I am going to start. I also loved your blog on the mom jeans!! I have 4 sons and one daughter who is in her sophomore year of college so she is not around to give me any tidbits of help. the boys could care less what I wear!! Your style is beautiful and inspiring!! How do you do it with 6 daughters?? I started Life's Patina over a year ago and am struggling to keep my head above water with my family. Any advice?? All the best~ Meg from Life's Patina

Hello! I followed your tutorial to the letter. Everything worked just as you said to get the transfer paper off.

But when I took it up, the words left only a little bit of black behind and the burlap was scorched. It wouldn't have been so bad but I'm using white burlap. Glad this was a trial run. I'm not ready to give up yet. Was my iron TOO hot?

The second attempt worked better. I used the second to highest setting and had no scorching. However, my design is fairly intricate. Most of what shows up on the burlap is the shape, but doesn't pick up the finer details. So I think I will stick to larger letters and solid shapes when using this method. It's a great idea!
